It ain't easy being a robot (MARM)

The task here was to 1) open the cabinet door, 2) put the object on the ground in the cabinet, 3) close the cabinet door. A task that might take a person a few seconds, my best time using the robot was several minutes.

For those who are interested in building something similar, there are some detailed close-up pics of the bot on the blog:

I wouldn't recommend copying the design exactly, today you can do a better job with the new parts like rack gears for the claw and worm gears for the arm itself.

I had to combine it with a few ordinary erector sets.

hey, i saw your robot performace....i think all you need to do is to make the reverse movement more consistent and place the arm at an angle while running the section of this program...good work!

Thats cool what parts did u use? I have a starter kit but theres not much you can do with it.

you should have tried to open the door by pulling it the same direction as the cabinet hinges... might have been more effective
